CANDY: Green Tea Kit Kat

Kit Kat bars have always been a favorite chocolate treat for me. It's the candy I crave the most and the only candy I would really buy. Today my twinbee Tammie shared her Green Tea Kit Kat straight from Japan! I always wanted to try this flavor but for some weird reason it's never available in local Japanese groceries. It is as delicious as green tea ice cream. It has a white chocolate creamy taste infused with green tea match with a wafer crunch! I loved it! Hope I can get my hands on these again because it really tastes amazing... and amazing enough to sway me from Chocolate flavored Kit Kats! *gasp* I suggest that if you run across this- to definitely try it and buy me one on the side too! It's not as weird as it sounds! ;)

Remember that episode from The Office when Andy Bernard kept singing "Give me a break.. Give me a break.. Break me off a piece of that.... " and he kept trying to figure out what it was? haha, thought the side of the Green Tea Kit Kat Bars would help him remember :P

YUM! Chocolate Covered Mushroom Cookies!

You all know that my obsession for fun shaped snacks will never end! My latest snack discovery at my local Japanese grocery, Meiji's Kinoko no Yama which are chocolate covered mushroom cookies! Of course they're not actually made out of mushrooms silly goose! They're just shaped like them! I love this snack. I think it's better than the tree stumps and I'm pretty obsessed over those! The cookie stem actually tastes pretty bland in itself when I bit into it. However, the chocolate covered mushroom top makes this snack a winner! The box comes with one bag for $2.79. Sorry guys- I forgot how many was in one bag, but it took me two snack times to finish one box. Super awesome treat and I will definitely indulge again!

Kabaya's Petit Pastel

                                  

                                  

                                  

Ice cream cones always put a smile on my face. :) It's reminiscent of my childhood days when I would be so excited to get a delicious treat from the ice cream truck! Anyway, I found another amazing Japanese snacky food from the grocery recently! Check out Kabaya's Petit Pastel. Aren't they cute? Well it's pretty damn good too! It has a chocolate cone with a disguised chocolate covered malt ball as the ice cream scoop. Jeez how ironic? Shouldn't it be the other way around as it should taste as it looks? Hmm.. Petit Pastel comes in different colors but it pretty much tastes the same. Kabaya just used food coloring to be fancy. You would imagine it would taste like Whoppers but it doesn't. It tastes like a bite sized Kit-Kat ball (yeah, they used to make those or still do?) with a little bit more chocolate on each bite. Each cone is pretty addicting because I found myself easily popping these bite sized treats by the second! A box comes with a pack of 2 containing 10 pieces of the chocolate ice cream treats per pack. Cheap too! It's less than $2.50 at your local Japanese Grocery!

                                  

                                  

Meiji's Pucca in Banana and Milk Flavor

 

I can't stop going to the Japanese Grocery Store! Every time I go, I always find weird snacks to try. Found this one last week, Meiji's Pucca Chocolate Fish shaped biscuit with Banana and Milk filling! It has a pretty interesting taste- like a milky banana creamy kind of like banana pie and a hint of chocolate? I was surprised that the banana flavor wasn't too overwhelming which is great. I enjoyed the snack because I like the taste of bananas but it kind of leaves a funky after taste. I have a feeling the strawberry and milk chocolate version tastes better! Well at least I tried it. :P Find it at your local Japanese Grocery Store for about $2 for a pack!

Care For a Chocolate Hamburger?

Japanese snacks are AMAZING. I found this interesting treat called Every Burger. OMFG! These things are just TOO CUTE- talk about kawaii! It's about the size of a quarter. Each bite sized delight has a sesame seed cookie bun and a milk chocolate patty. The taste is pretty good in my opinion. It's so interesting because there's actually a hint of sesame which works well with chocolate. Kids would love this! It's priced at $2.15 and comes in a pack of two with each pack containing 8 chocolate hamburgers. I mean, I've seen gummy hamburgers before but a CHOCOLATE HAMBURGER?! This snackie gets a two thumbs up!
